Product Description Imzadi: to the people of the planet Betazed, including Counselor Deanna Troi of the Starship Enterprise,™ it means "beloved" and denotes that which can never be truly broken.
Yet to whom does Deanna's heart truly belong?
Commander William Riker was the first Deanna called Imzadi. Long before they served together on board the Enterprise, they shared a tempestuous love affair back on Betazed. And even now, many years later, Riker will embark on a desperate journey across time and space to save Deanna's life.
But Riker is not the only Starfleet officer to capture Deanna's heart. Lieutenant Commander Worf, the fierce Klingon warrior, is also drawn to Deanna's gentle and caring nature. Brought together by fate, he and Deanna share an unexpected passion that tests the bonds between Troi and Riker -- even as a deadly Romulan conspiracy threatens them all!
Star Trek: Imzadi Forever -- Best book of all time!March 9, 2008 Catharine Carter(Sunny So. Utah) Imzadi Forever is the best compilation of the greatest two books I have ever red. Peter David, probably my most favorite author, hit the head on the nail square on with both of these books. Never read anything better!

I'll let other reviews cover the subject matter of this particular book and focus on author Peter David instead. He is, without doubt, the premier author of Trek fiction and you are well-advised to seek out all his other fiction, both Trek and non-Trek.
What makes David so unique? Not only does he know every single detail in the series, his books reveal a deep compassion and concern for each story, going beyond casual story-telling into motivations and character development that can only be produced by someone who thinks with depth and understanding about each character and who loves his material.
And what do you get in this novel? No less than the best Trek novel ever written (Imzadi) and an absolute joy to behold, as it takes the skeleton of a story barely hinted at in the series and molds it into a pulse-pounding character-based lovefest that will deeply satisfy the casual and series fan alike. And note that in a David book, there are no throw-away characters or scenes - everyone who shows up, right down to the smallest part, gets a full examination by the author, transforming pulp fiction into absolute artistry.
Kudos!
Imzadi Forever, is just about Perfect!November 4, 2006 Mrs. C. F. Davis(Hampshire England) This book is extremely well written,using the background stories from the Star Trek series to great effect, both of the stories in this omnibus are captivating and really pull you into the relationships between Deanna and Will, then latterly Deanna and Worf,as a fan of all the Star Trek series and the books, I was delighted with this book, and would read any of Peter David's future novels, as he really captures the world of Star Trek.
Read the description people!March 23, 2006 Jennifer L. Hart(Concord, NC) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
If you had bothered to read the description of the book, you might realize it is reprinted material.
The original Imzadi is one of the best books (Star Trek or other) that I've ever read. I would give it six starts, vaulting it from loved it, to changed my life status. I grew up on STTNG (laugh all you will) and I always wanted more of an explanation into the Riker/Troi relationship. Imzadi gives you all that you could hope for and more.
Imzadi Two: Triangle is good, albit a bit akward since it takes place after the crash of the Enterprise in the first TNG movie. PD had to scramble a little to fit what he wrote into what the writers of the show/movie had done in the interm, but he pulled it off. He also added Thomas Riker, aka bad Riker and Sela to add to the basic love story and help muddy the waters.
I have both books in hard cover and have read each several times. PD has a great way with words and I really enjoy his view of the STTNG universe.

If you have "Imzadi" and "Imzadi II" .. there's no need to waste your money. I hate getting ripped off by authors and publishers!
